Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1126 The Final Game II

East of Xiong'er Mountain.

Lushi County.

This county is only a small county in Hongnong, but it has a large population and looks a little prosperous.

But a few days ago, a wolf-like army rushed in, and the whole city was under martial law, which suddenly made this small county town serious. The whole county was under martial law, and no one was involved in the streets or alleys Appear.

This army of troops is naturally the Jiangdong Army who was defeated on the Guanzhong battlefield and escaped in embarrassment.

In the battle that night, the Jiangdong Army was suddenly killed by the Bingzhou Army, and the Bingzhou Titan Lu Bu personally tore apart the defenses of the Jiangdong Army layer by layer, causing the Jiangdong Army to almost collapse.

Under such circumstances, the entire army was almost wiped out, and even Sun Jian might not be able to escape.

But Jiangdong also has heroes.

At the critical moment, Han Dang, one of the four great generals under Sun Jian's command, stood up. He personally led the most heroic soldiers in Jiangdong, held back Lu Bu, and created an opportunity for Sun Jian to break out of the encirclement under the cover of night.

But this battle also caused the Jiangdong Army to lose troops and generals, and there was no longer a foothold on the land of Guanzhong.

in camp.

Sun Jian's spirit is not very good, and the trauma is easy to heal. He did not suffer serious injuries, but his heart is hard to adjust. Han Dang died in battle, and countless Jiangdong sons were killed. In the end, he could only escape with the remnant soldiers. .

He is Jiangdong Tiger.

But it is not as good as a dog and rabbit, who is beaten and has no strength to fight back.

"My lord, we have found enough food and grass in the city to support our journey south!" A general came in and said with hands folded.

"Go down and get ready!"

"promise!"

After this battle, Sun Jian no longer planned to stay in Guanzhong any longer.

Guanzhong is too chaotic.

He didn't know how to deal with the chaos.

This battle is a lesson.

He was ambitious, thinking that with the soldiers in his hands, he could save the emperor from going to Jiangdong. However, a basin of cold water poured down his head, almost chilling him, which made the anger in his heart go out little by little.

After resting here at Lu's, he is ready to march south.

"Lord!"

The scout captain came in from the outside, clasped his hands and reported, "Some news just came from the direction of Tongguan!"

"what news?"

"Dong Zhuo is dead?"

"what?"

Sun Jian's pupils widened: "How is it possible?"

"The emperor killed it!"

"The Son of Heaven?"

Sun Jian was even more puzzled: "Please explain it in detail!"

"The news I can get is this..."

The scout captain detailed the information he had inquired about, and told it back and forth carefully.

"It is possible!" Sun Jian stood up, his eyes became a little fiery again: "So, Dong Zhuo designed us, but the emperor designed Dong Zhuo, and the emperor is superior!"

"but……"

"But what?"

"It seems that the Xiliang army counterattacked the emperor, and the emperor's subordinates are retreating steadily. In addition, there is news that the Mu army has gone north. There is also a main force of the Jizhou Yuan army in the north, led by Yuan Benchu ​​himself. It has gone south and occupied Tongguan!"

"Damn!"

Sun Jian became more and more annoyed when he heard this: "I fought with the Xiliang army on the front line, and I didn't see any of them, but now they jumped out one by one, wanting to take advantage of it, the calculation is quite good!"

If you want to say that you are not reconciled, you have it.

But he would not dare to lead the army back now and fight again.

Because the Jiangdong army was seriously injured.

He was almost crippled by the Bingzhou army. No matter how the battlefield changes, it is probably not his turn to take advantage of it. And now even if he wants to transfer troops from Jiangdong, it is too late. The Guanzhong battlefield, the final game, is imminent.

"Lord!"

Cheng Pu walked in from the outside and handed over a secret letter: "A secret letter from Jiangdong!"

"Did something happen to Jiangdong?" Sun Jian asked.

"I don't know!" Cheng Pu shook his head: "But it is reasonable that Jiangdong's territory is still stable, and there will be no major problems. I think it should be on the Jingzhou battlefield. There may be some things that need to be known to the Lord!"

Jiangdong and Guanzhong are far away, so it is natural not to write a letter to let Sun Jian make up his mind, but to tell Sun Jian about the matter and let Sun Jian know. After all, Sun Jian is the master of Jiangdong.

"Bo Fu and Gong Jin are so courageous!"

Sun Jian opened the letter, looked at it, his pupils changed color, and handed it to Cheng Pu: "Demou, take a look!"

"They are?"

Cheng Pu looked at it and swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "If it's done well, it will be beneficial to Jiangdong, and I'm afraid it will go wrong!"

"I believe in Bofu's judgment, and I also believe in Gongjin's prudence. Since they have made such a decision, it shows that they have already calculated it, and this is the best for Jiangdong!"

Sun Jian said: "Just in case, I have to return to Jiangdong as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation. After all..."

He said with a wry smile: "What we are provoking is the most dazzling young man of the big man!"

"Then I will arrange to withdraw the troops now, and pull out the camp in an hour!"

"Go!"

Sun Jian nodded.

Originally, Sun Jian had some thoughts and wanted to stay, to see if he could take advantage of the chaos to pick up some bargains, but now, he thinks it is unnecessary. The situation in Guanzhong is already very clear. big.

But now Jiangdong needs him, the lord, to sit in the town in person.

....................................

To the west, on the north bank of the Yellow River, in Zuofengyi, there is a county called Chongquan.

This county is 150 miles away from Tongguan, and across the Yellow River. It was not very conspicuous in the past, and it is not conspicuous now.

But this county was originally controlled by some local gentry, but now it has changed its owner.

This county is now surnamed Cao.

After Cao Jun withdrew from the Guanzhong battlefield, he went all the way west. If the Yellow River crossed a hundred miles, he camped around Chongquan County and did not enter the city. , all put into effect.

Externally, it was as calm as ever.

But many people know that the sky has changed here.

Cao Cao has not seemed impatient recently.

Although he withdrew, but on the battlefield, he left a nail. He believed that to respond, he was faster than anyone else, and he would not lose the opportunity.

Now he is waiting.

Wait for changes on the battlefield.

From light to darkness, he changed from a praying mantis catching cicadas to a squirrel after a mantis catching cicadas.

Of course, no one can tell who is the oriole, who is the praying mantis, and who is the cicada. The chaos on the battlefield made the current situation chaotic. I dare not speculate on this side of the battlefield.

"My lord, a letter from the eldest son!" On the west side of the county seat, there is a school ground, which looks like an ordinary school ground, but now it is where Cao Cao's middle camp is located. He replaced it, and now the city is the safest.

"say what?"

Cao Cao asked calmly.

"The eldest son said that we have accelerated the rectification of Yanzhou and Yuzhou at present. Xun Yu invited some Yingchuan gentry to stand for us, so that many counties and towns in various places raised their hands and surrendered."

"But at present, it is impossible to recruit more soldiers and horses and put them on the battlefield in Guanzhong!"

The clerk next to him read it softly.

"This is also a very normal thing!"

Cao Cao naturally understood that now the Xuzhou base camp has been fully deployed, and almost all of its troops have been invested in the Guanzhong battlefield, and Yanzhou Yuzhou, with the influence of the Cao family, is not so easy to take down, even if Xun Yu invites the Yingchuan gentry It is difficult to rectify this aspect in a short period of time.

Cao Cao wrote a letter, sealed it with wax, and handed it to the guards: "Xia Houyu, send this letter back yourself, and then tell Zixiu that the matter of Guanzhong is his own decision, and he doesn't need to worry about it. As a father, it is enough to guard Xuzhou and stabilize Yanyu two states!"

Zixiu, of course, is Cao Zixiu, Cao Ang, the eldest son of Cao Cao, and currently the number one heir to the Cao family.

In history, Cao Ang died early.

But now there is no battle of Nanyang, and because of the influence of some external forces, Cao Ang grew up very fast, and he can already replace his father Cao Cao and sit in the base camp.

"promise!"

The guards belonged to the Xiahou family. The Cao family of the Xiahou family was a family, and they were the people Cao Cao trusted the most. Many of the personal guards around him were young and middle-aged men from the Xiahou family of the Cao family. Xia Houyu was quite trustworthy.

After the guards left, Cao Cao continued to read. He wanted to read and meditate, not wanting to worry too much, but he was only alone, so he didn't worry about the battlefield.

"My lord, this is a letter from the battlefield scouts in the past two days!"

Guo Jia walked in, running out of breath.

"You crossed the river yourself to get the news?"

Cao Cao raised his head, looked at Guo Jia, and frowned.

"The layout of the south bank needs to be more detailed. I will come here in person and bring back the news. We are currently on the north bank. There are some deficiencies in the news about the south bank, so we can't make more careful speculations!"

Guo Jia said in a deep voice.

"Your health is not good. In the future, let the people below do these things instead. I don't want to be troubled!"

Cao Cao attached great importance to Guo Jia. In terms of military affairs, he thought every proposal Guo Jia made was just right, but Guo Jia's health had never been very good, and he didn't want Guo Jia to work so hard.

"It's okay!"

Guo Jia smiled with a pale face, and said: "My lord, although Jia is a son of a noble family, his family has fallen into poverty when he was young, and he has suffered a lot in his studies. When he was young, he even traveled around the world. A little distance has no effect on me!"

"It is rumored that you and Minghou Mansion's Xi Caicai came from the same school and worshiped the same teacher?"

"Ok!"

"You've heard how powerful this person is!"

"I'm afraid there are few people in the world who can understand his power better than me!"

"But he is also destined to die young. The more intelligent a person is, the harsher the gods will be. Feng Xiao, a certain master who does not have the dragon-herding figure can rejuvenate and have the ability to rip open the belly. I only hope that you can take good care of your body. Let us all see the prosperity of the future big man!"

Cao Cao came over, patted Guo Jia on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice.

"My lord's invitation, how dare Jia refuse to obey, as long as my lord refuses, even God will not take Jia's life away!" Guo Jia was a little moved. After studying for more than ten years, he was full of talents and learned nothing more than he wanted to find a wise king to help him. He created a career, or hegemony, or pacified the world, created a chaotic world, and left his name in history.

Cao Cao received a wave of support, and returned to the topic. He didn't even need to read the news, and asked directly: "That guy Dong Zhuo killed himself. Is there any news on the battlefield now?"

The news of Dong Zhuo's death had come back a few days earlier.

But after this news, a lot of news failed to come back, which made Cao Cao's judgment on the battlefield not very accurate.

"Even though Dong Zhuo is dead, the emperor is still there. The Xiliang army got the news that Dong Zhuo was beheaded by the emperor, and they fought back one after another. They fought fiercely, and the state army was defeated. The emperor's imperial army was defeated for thousands of miles, and finally retreated to Huayang!"

Guo Jia reported directly by dictation, saying: "Huayang is just a small town under Huayin's command. How can the adobe of the township be able to stop it? On the day the city was destroyed, Wang Yun killed himself. They were slaughtered, and now Guo Si, Li Que and the others have held the emperor hostage!"

"Xiliang is a tough army after all, the emperor is still careless!"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes: "However, the youthful appearance of the Son of Heaven, with such ability to buy Lu Bu and kill Dong Zhuo, should not be underestimated, maybe..."

"Maybe what?"

"Zhongxing Han Room!"

"The lord also thinks highly of the Son of Heaven!" Guo Jia shook his head: "The Son of Heaven is after all lacking in scheming, and has a cold temper. Such a person, it is difficult to become a great weapon. Compared with such calculations, if he is imprisoned but not killed, he may be able to seize the throne. Liang's army, but in a fit of anger, he killed Dong Zhuo, but the Xiliang army suffered such hardship. Wang Yun and others planned for him for many years and worked hard all his life. In the end, he could only save himself. The responsibility is entirely on them, such a king is hard to be the master of others!"

"It's just a boy, don't be too harsh!"

Cao Cao shook his head, and then he continued: "Is there any news?"

"Yuan Jun from Jizhou has entered Tongguan, and has taken the initiative in the entire battlefield, and his troops should be the strongest!"

"Yuan Shao came in person?"

"It should be right!"

"He's a bit of a city man, counting us all in. I thought he looked down on the emperor. It seems that we underestimated him too much. If it wasn't for a certain family that went from light to darkness, I'm afraid he wouldn't have shown it so easily. Whereabouts!"

"For this sake, he will move even if he doesn't move!"

"Where's Mu Jun?"

"Already headed north, but very restrained, and did not launch any attack on the Guanzhong battlefield. Even the emperor fell into the hands of the Xiliang army, and he seemed to ignore it. Now the troops are stationed in the south of Huayin!"

"Then the one who bears the brunt is Lu Bu?"

Cao Cao sneered, "Lu Bu..."

"First betray Ding Yuan, then betray Lu Bu, and then abandon the emperor, this person has insufficient character!"

"It's okay!"

Cao Cao said indifferently: "I like to use such a person. It is easy to use, and there is no burden. If you can't use it, you can kill it. It's not difficult!"

"I'm afraid it won't be used by us!"

"Not necessarily!"

Cao Cao said: "If it was in the past, he had the capital to be arrogant, but now, surrounded by the shepherd army, he will soon be a homeless dog. Of course, I will not send troops. It depends on whether he has the ability to kill him." Already!"

He stood up and thought about it: "We seem to have forgotten one person!"

"My lord is talking about the Youzhou army?"

"The Jiangdong Army suffered a disastrous defeat. Sun Wentai probably didn't have much thought for it, but the Youzhou Army, although its strength is not very strong, but from the very beginning, Liu Xuande used the help of the Northern Lure Army to withdraw and saved all the main force!"

Cao Cao sneered, and said: "This dog is not a good stubble, how can he be easily fooled, I am afraid that by now, his strength has already returned!"

"This battlefield is getting more and more chaotic!"

Guo Jia sighed.

"Chaos is good, we have a chance, otherwise we don't have any chance at all, now let's see if Yuan Benchu ​​and Mu Longtu can't stand it, they will make the first move, or Liu Xuande will make the first move, this is in line with our desire Benefit!"

Cao Cao said: "Tell the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry that there is no order, absolutely no movement, no discovery, and no mistakes. Whether I can regain control of the initiative depends on this hidden soldier!"
